Synopsis

Atsushi Ikeda, a kindhearted college student, tends abandoned animals and brings them inside his home. When he spots an injured high school student with a violin lying at his doorstep, he does not think twice about taking him in for the night. The fierce young man, introducing himself as Riya Narukawa, has no idea why he was unconscious in front of Atsushi's door but worries no further, as he claims that memory lapses are a common occurrence.

The following day, when Riya gets a sudden headache while playing the violin for Atsushi, he professes that he ran away from home because his dead brother's spirit inside him has been forcing him to play the violin. Stunned by the sudden revelation, a concerned Atsushi discovers that Riya is a prodigious violinist and the only son of a famous musician. Worried that things are not matching up, he soon learns that Riya has a multiple personality disorder, causing him to invent a deceased younger brother whom he believes to be within his soul. Carrying the weight of other people's expectations for his talent, Riya tries to come to terms with the underlying problems behind his psychological complications, all while understanding what Atsushi means to him.

This is the first manga i feel inclined to write a review.

the summary of this story is basically a heart warming romance between two guys (yes, it's BL), a college student, Ikeda Atsushi, who is too kind towards everything and everyone and a violin prodigy, Riya Narukawa. One day, Ikeda found Riya lying on his doorsteps and took him in, only to find Riya waking up with a weird personality, a sloppy eater, a high schooler with no aim. The only clue to him was a violin which was found beside him. However, Ikeda found out that Riya has a split personality, 'white', who is ... docile and only has the violin, and 'black', who defies and hates his alter ego. the story goes on with Ikeda and Riya facing emotional obstacles as Riya tries to conquer his past and rid his fear of his other existence.

Character:
Ikeda is absolutely gentlemanly. his first impression might be of a boring and common college student, with bad luck chancing upon a 'stray' at his door. But as the story goes, we realise his character is not at all a simple college guy, but rather, an all-giving, self-sacrificing and sophisticated guy as he sticks by Riya, no matter which personality he's facing. He firmly believes that Riya is who he is and that both personalities make up to be him. And even if he has to give up only to receive nothing in the end, he still chose to be beside Riya whenever he needs him.

Riya's character is very complicated to describe. As he has two personalities, it would be safe to say that the author created two characters within one body. even though his personalities are splitted and completely different, the author manages to link both personality together so that in the end, they are in sync with each other. The alter egos are scared of each other, and afraid of what the other might do, but at the same time depends on each other to confirm their existence. If both personalities has one thing in common, it's their fear of their insignificance. It creates this weak and fragile personality that pretends to be strong, yet shouts for people to protect him. However, the author manages to prevent the character from turning too cheesy like the classic doe eyed ukes. He is definitely not the usual annoying i-want-to-beat-the-crap-out-of-you character!

Art:
The characters are drawn delicately. each stroke and line is drawn with precision, and breathed with life. It's as if the characters are alive. While i was reaeding the whole manga, i could almost feel myself in the book, right there where the characters are talking. It's amazing and has been a while since i have this tingling sensation from reading again. Absolutely fantastic drawings. couldn't have done better!

.. what else do i have to write? JUST READ THE SERIES AND FIND YOURSELVES IMMERSED WITHIN THE TOUCHING LOVE STORY OF THESE TWO BOYS.... absolutely marvelous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a rather touching story, enough so that I had to write a review. :)

It may just be that I've grown accustomed to disregarding gender, but to me, this story isn't about boyxboy or bl or whatever. This story is about the psychological effects of abuse and about the strength it takes to heal and grow as an individual.

Though I know that there are quite a few mangas that are out there that address this issue, I found this one to be the right balance of tactfulness and honesty. The characters meshed well together and the mangaka left room for the readers to ...
